Formscan - BALLYBEG BOSS was no match for an impressive winner when runner-up at Carlisle last month, but Donald McCain's inmate is unlikely to face anything of that calibre here and gets the vote. Fourofakind posted a solid third at Newbury earlier in the month and the four-year-old is feared most. Diamand De Vindecy built on his hurdling debut at Wetherby to finish second at Carlisle and is another to consider.
